Sound, science, solutions

The company name says it all: we develop embedded systems for acoustic applications. You'll find designs developed by our team in products sold by companies all over the world - small businesses as well as Fortune 500 companies.

Bedrock SM50 STIPA meter Embedded Acoustics is the designer and manufacturer of the Bedrock SM50. The introduction of the Bedrock STIPAmeter brings good news to many: finally a STIPA meter that is accurate, reliable and affordable at the same time!…

Optimization of communication systems Any electro-acoustic system used for communication, whether it is a military radio or a public address system, can only perform if it is tuned for its acoustic environment. This sounds logical - yet a properly optimised…

Hearing protection and sound dose monitoring Simply blocking as much sound from the outside world as you can is just not good enough. The key is always to find the proper balance between competing design criteria: sound attenuation, speech intelligibility,…

Real 3D audio Essentially, 3D audio offers the experience of a three-dimensional acoustic environment, while sound is produced through headphones or just a single pair of loudspeaker. 3D audio is known through its entertainment applications, and for creating an immersing…

Embedded Acoustics is committed to sparking innovation in the fields of acoustics, speech and hearing. Our mission is to translate scientific knowledge and high-tech engineering into working, real life products and services.

Our NATAN concept wins phase 2 SBIR grant

In 2017, we launched our new concept for keep your (offline) data safe: NATAN. NATAN stands for Network Assisted Track And Neutralize. Think of NATAN as a USB flashdrive that keeps your data safe from information theft, even if you lose the physical device - or if somebody steals it. NATAN allows you to

Track the device. See where your device is, on a map. Did you simply put it in the wrong pocket, or is it currently at a location you've never been before?

Block the device. Remotely lock all access to the device, from your personalized NATAN webportal

Wipe device. Permanently remove all data from the device, regardless of where it is

Get audit trail. Receive data of recent access to the device. Know what happened to it before you wiped it.

Lost data storage devices are, unfortunately, a very common occurrence. Not every lost flashdrive constitutes a real data breach. But how do you know? NATAN lets you figure out if there's a real threat of your data being stolen, and lets you take steps to minimize the damage accordingly.

We plan to have the first version of the NATAN device on the market in the second half of 2018. We will initially launch NATAN exclusively in the Netherlands, because of network coverage considerations - NATAN uses a commercial public IoT network. Please contact us if you would like to stay updated about the development of NATAN.

Full STI is back! Firmware 2.0 for the Bedrock SMxx introduces exciting new features

Not too long ago, we released firmware version 2.0 for the Bedrock SMxx. New units now ship with this version. Upgrading is free for all existing users.

We regularly release firmware updates that consistently add new modules and features. But this update is special; it marks the return of the Full STI using the direct method. This golden standard of all Speech Intelligibility test methods has been absent for around 25 years - it used to require complex, heavy and expensive hardware. We've not only been able to implement it on the SMxx, we also implemented a version that is much quicker than the original. Whereas the original Full STI took 15 minutes, the new version takes 70 seconds. This makes the method practical for real-life studies - essentially a more universal and generally applicable alternative to STIPA.

We also gave the user interface a small upgrade to enhance the "look and feel" of the device and make the user menu configurable - you can put your favorite modules on the front page. Multiple modules for measuring electric signals were also added.

This is the first hardware instrument brought to you by the very team that developed STIPA.

Overwatch PDR enters mass production phase

In January 2018, our award-winning Personal Data Recorder finally went into mass production. The PDR is intended for police, first responders and others who work under potentially hazardous conditions. It continously records video, audio and other sensor data, and securely stores the data. It goes beyond what normal bodycams can offer - its design allows for concurrent storage and analysis of data across a large (theoretically unlimited) number of devices.

Acoustics consulting staff now offshore qualified

Embedded Acoustics is known to apply its knowledge to technical consulting projects in a wide variety of application fields, ranging from trains to airplanes, and from road tunnels to concert halls. We are proud to announce that we have now extended our scope to offshore activities. Embedded Acoustics staff have acquired the necessary certificates for working on offshore platforms anywhere in the North Sea region (NOGEPA, OPITO, OLF).

Services offered to the offshore sector include all types of acoustic measurements, including speech intelligibility measurements for verification and evaluation of evacuation systems and general announcement systems.
